published 8 April 2013

The history of Stoke Park stems back some 900 years, with James Wyatt, architect to George III designing the mansion.

Famous amateur golfer and course architect Harry Colt was commissioned to design the course after the estate was purchased in 1908.

The course has been the inspiration for many of the world's most famous holes, including the 16th at Augusta.
